Cut Project Duration

By Dick Billows, PMP, GCA

Here is a supplemental video from our course ProjectPedia to add to your understanding.  Ask your instructor any questions you have and then apply these techniques to your case study assignments.  Send them to your instructor for feedback and coaching. Watch a project manager face two stakeholders demanding a cut in the project duration. The project manager unsuccessfully argues to fight off the duration reduction. Then watch the project manager use best practices techniques and survive the duration issue with his project intact.
